Hello, Community!

Hopefully if you're reading this, it's because you're interesting in kicking your campaign experience up a notch by cranking up the Legendary with all skulls activated :-) Need advice? A guide? Maybe even a friendly community to cheer you on and help guide you through the process? Then give our Mythic thread a read, and Godspeed on your Mythic journey!

Best Regards,
The Tyrant

At the minimum, you should jump in, mass drive two phantoms, then jump out. This greatly increases your chance of surviving.

How did you test this? Reverting to the last checkpoint over and over and over and over? No offense, but I'm hesitant to take your word without any evidence. This sounds like something that could've just been random (lucky).


Yup, I seemed to survive a lot more. I would save & quit and then come back to it another day. That's the one part of the mission where you really don't want to -blam!- up.

Mathematically, it should make things easier; you don't need to take my word for it, as it's not really my word; it's the same way how you don't have to take my word for it that in the Monty Hall Problem, you have a two times greater chance of winning the prize by switching doors. Less phantoms=less fire. Less fire=longer time to die. However, RC Master now said that they're infinitely spawning, so I think my efforts may have been futile. The previous statement only works with finite phantoms.

Actually, that was me that said they spawn infinitely. I know because they would instantly get replaced whenever I shot them down on my initial run through the game (on legendary). Even if I only shot off their turrets so they were still there but couldn't hurt me, they would get a replacement.

Daaaamn, very nice runs.
I want to see the ToTS Run, I know the suffering that mission can induce.
I'll also be sure to check out WC (heh, Wailing Caverns) too. Interested to see if you used the Falcon or not.

Save the film once you've finished it. Should any questions about the legitimacy of your run(s) arise, you have the video ready to fileshare as proof. Although this shouldn't happen as the gamestats will show if you've beaten the mission properly or not.

Also, I believe if you render the film it may save it separately, so even if delete 3, if you have them rendered, you can still post links. Please correct me if I'm wrong, though.

Keep your most recent/most impressive runs in your fileshare as you see fit. I've downloaded all your current films and have verified their legitimacy*, so I can vouch for you if there are any questions.

*don't worry, I didn't spend hours on it; I only needed to view the first bit to make sure you started from the begining and not a checkpoint. Stats deal with the rest.

If you render a film, yes, the saved film will stick arond under the 'rendered films' section on b.net. But long films will cost a bit to render, and don't you need Pro to render in the first place anyway? So you'd be better off getting pro if you wanted them all available online.

Well, depends how fast you're trying to go...

This run is pretty much the equivalent of my 9:03 legendary route, but on Mythic. It can go faster of course, but the faster way of dealing with Tyrant 1 is a bit more dangerous, and the right Wraith at Tyrant 2 keeps throwing itself off the cliff!!!

I'll also be sure to check out WC (heh, Wailing Caverns) too. Interested to see if you used the Falcon or not.

Of course I used the Falcon! I'm not THAT good at fighting dudes. :P

Took a few tries; whether or not Jun is in it seems to be pretty random. Its not the fastest it can go since I got bogged down with the Zealots a little and I'm not that great in flipping the Falcon over. Still, its a solid improvement to both my own personal best and the global best I think.

Also, is that a WoW reference?


Regarding the Phantoms at the end of PoA: I don't know how you got the impression that killing any of them helped Michael. Just did a test from RPB on Heroic, jumped in, blasted 2 like you said. There were still 4 of them by the time it came time to hit the cuiser. Did another test, blasted about 6 this time, still 4 by the time I needed to get in. So unless there are other factors to it, doesn't look like it helps.

Does it appear on the post-game stats where it says the difficulty as Mythic? or just legendary? just curious, lol.
What is the bonus multiplier also?

I think I figured out what Tyrant meant by 'breaking the smelting room.' I have to say, not having to fight the Ultras OR the Hunters is a big boon at that section. Though I do wonder how not having Drop-Shield will affect the Holdout. There are a number of healthpacks around the area however, so it could be OK. And you'll get there much more easily with this.

This sounding familiar Tyrant? Or have I come up with a completely different strategy again :P

Legendary. And then you look at how many skulls are on and you see its 13, so it must be Mythic.

Eh... Did Tyrant do something to his Mythic guide videos on HBO? When I try to watch those on Sword Base, Nightfall, ToTS and Exodus, it says that video is not found or access is denied. Is someone else having this problem, or am I the only one?

I found this too, today. May have done it a different way, but I got the same results. It'd work well on a Legendary/Heroic speedrun. RC, get to it!

I'm looking at them right now and they seem to be working fine for me. It's not my website. It's HBO's. So my viewing privileges are the same as yours.

Hey all, hope you're having a Happy Holiday season. I haven't kept up with the thread lately but I think I just had a fast Package run: Mythic Package in 37:18.

It can def be improved (especially in the Scorpion department... I suck at aiming with Blind on! lol) but should still be fun to watch.

Not sure if anyone else has rushed the beginning like I did, let me know. This run is rush-tastic from beginning to end minus all the tank killing.
